Blue Jay is a premium style WooCommerce ready theme that’s simple to use, beautiful to look at and it’s flexible enough to set up nearly any sort of online shop. We’re happy to offer Blue Jay up to you for free, since we believe that there aren’t enough really good WordPress themes out there that are absolutely free of cost. Some are pretty decent, others are buggy and just flat out bad. That’s a problem that’s been going on for a while. If you want the good stuff, you pretty much have to pay through the nose to get it, typically.

But not with Blue Jay! It’s free and it’s spectacular.

Perfect responsiveness means that the Blue Jay theme looks incredible on all devices, no matter the resolution. Now, that’s pretty commonplace now, but not all free themes are responsive, so make sure you pick a great one. Don’t settle for something that’s going to look bad on a handheld device.

Blue Jay installs really quick and it’s very simple to set up. You’ll be blogging within minutes.

Blue Jay is totally WooCommerce compatible too, so you can sell all sorts of products on your very own online store. Digital downloads or actual physical products, the choice is yours.

It’s ideal for any sort of website, any type of product and any kind of business owner. WooCommerce is perfect for beginners and experts alike.

Blue Jay has multiple different blog layouts, from two and three column grids, full width layouts and more. Don’t forget the ‘About Me’ and ‘Contact Me’ pages. Tons of widgets and widget areas mean Blue Jay is really flexible. The typography is stylish, just a hint feminine, but it works for nearly any sort of site. I personally believe that it’s best suited as a lifestyle blog, but you may disagree. It’s a free country, do what you like!
